The main idea of the article is considered the role of the scientific method, which is defined in the Law of Ukraine “On Education” the type of specialized education – science education. The general understanding of the scientific method place in research activity, research competence and for development of pupils’ scientific thinking has been described. The main aim of the implementation concept of science education in education is to teach students to adapt to the ever-changing environment of life, work and study. This process should be based on the application of scientific methods and the development of scientific thinking of pupils. Scientific method ‒ is a cognition instrument, and the educational process is aimed on the one hand to acquire new knowledge, and on the other - to teach students how using and improving personal approach for the effective application of the scientific method in personal purpose. It has been described the value of research activity for further human competitiveness. The main tasks of education are not so much scientific research and the educational process as education through research. The result of such education is interpreted as the constant demand for a student as a specialist in the field of knowledge. In this way, the purpose of science education is the formation of student's research competence, which in turn is based on research activities for the effective implementation of which the student must be able to use scientific methods. Therefore, in order to model a student's research competence and basic competencies in science and technology, it is necessary, among other things, to learn how to use the scientific method as a tool of cognition.

Natural Science Education

According to the primary school natural science education curricula cognitive activity has to be diverse and its content must be permanently changed. It is purposeful to supplement the educational process with children’s literature, music, folklore, acting, drawing and games (General Curricula and Education Standards, 2003). Game is one of the most universal and efficient child’s primary education strategies. Creative and orientated combination of game and artistic activities in the process of natural science education enables to seek that primary school students both perceive the environment as the aesthetic totality and get used to take care of it, both notice the beauty of nature phenomena and objects and feel the need to take care of nature, both perceive the interdependence of animate and inanimate nature and feel the interrelation of nature with various arts and artistic activities. Observation is the activity that is accessible to primary class pupils and serves as a basis for more complex steps in the teaching and learning process. Because the observation of the nearest environment can be strongly encouraged by the wish to depict the objects of the nearest environment in various ways, this article presents the examples of games employing depiction means, which not only integrate natural science education and artistic education but also promote active cognitive environmental research activity. Key words: primary education, cognitive activity, game employing depiction means.

Scientific Research Activity

The formation of scientific research activity abilities in comprehensive school is undoubtedly, a very important sphere still awaiting of particular attention. Current teaching and learning process has basically changed looking from the paradigmatic point of view. Teaching subjects become the means of realization of learners’ demands and interests. Scientific research activity is not an entertainment, but a very responsible, thorough work requiring great self-independence. During this activity children’s analytic thinking becomes stronger, information search and usage abilities are being developed, they can learn to analyze the accumulated material, make presentations, prepare research reports and so on. By doing scientific research, learners approach new knowledge and new methods to solve problems of daily life. The main question is how to combine scientific research and science education. First of all we should elaborate specific policies how to encourage our learners to do scientific research. According to E.Šapokienė (1994), exploration is „a form of the organization of the educational process, when pupils become familiar with the basic methods of research, learn easily comprehensible elements of research methodology, obtain knowledge and skills to individually investigate phenomena of natural and environmental life“. This is also very important from political point of view. After qualitative analysis of the scientific information sources it is possible to separate some categories of importance of the scientific research activity of learners, for example, careers counselling, development of cognitive abilities and skills, formation of values system, development of intelligence, creativity etc. Scientific research activity in comprehensive school is undoubtedly a meaningful, integral sphere, however, for developing such kind of activity in Lithuanian comprehensive schools not an adequate attention was paid up to now. Insufficient attention devoted to scientific research activities is one of the reasons why the classes of ‘Science’ are not popular among students in different countries. We can safely assert that especially in primary school practically not an appropriate attention is paid to formation of scientific-research abilities. It is obvious, that modern teaching process is not favorable orientating pupils for scientist (researcher) career. In the given article the basic documents regulating education in Lithuania are analysed. The conclusion is drawn that the attention to scientific research activity of students is given ever less attention. Key words: scientific research activity, career, comprehensive school, science education.

This article discusses the application of research activities as a means of forming the research competence of a bachelor. Research the concept of research competence is the General concept of “research”. The role of research competence of the bachelor is determined. The result of the study is a certain territorial system concept and objective education. The emerging levels of professional competence of the future bachelor’s mathematics teacher coincide with the level of students’ performance of educational and methodological tasks: low level-the lack of a system of knowledge of a reproductive nature about the methodological features of teaching certain topics of mathematics, about the age characteristics of students; inability to make educational and methodological questions even on a given sample; intermediate level-a system of acquired and existing knowledge, skills and basic professional qualities in the learning process, which is able to solve educational and methodological issues in standard situations with the help of a teacher or other persons through level 1 tasks using individual approaches based on the model; a high level of methodological literacy — readiness for independent and creative release training tasks in the changed conditions on all major types of educational-methodical assignments with the use of special, generic methods or their own methods of instructional activities in accordance with accepted standards and norms and the implementation of educational-methodical tasks of the second and third levels. We can conclude that research is a phenomenon of human culture, the essence of which is the knowledge of the world around us. The result of the research is objective knowledge reflected in the system of concepts in a certain area.

The Future

The requirement of the time is to increase the level of the professional training aimed at the future Physics teachers who are able to master the ability to observe, plan and perform experiments, process measurement results, hypothesize and build models, set limits for their application, etc., which means that teaching Physics should be accompanied by research activity. The purpose of the conducted research is to form the future competence of physics teachers’ research competence in the process of studying the section "Molecular Physics and Thermodynamics" within the course of General Physics and to apply the gained experience in the organization of students’ research in the course of pedagogical practice. The theoretical analysis of the problem related to the formation of the research competence as well as the practical methods there were used these research methods: questioning, testing, organization of complex educational-research activities at lectures, practical and laboratory classes. The content and structure of the future Physics teachers’ research competence has been defined as a set of motivational, cognitive, operational research-centred, evaluative and reflexive components have been determined. The criteria and indicators have been identified for each of the components alongside with the levels of the research competence (low, medium and high) have been identified. At the ascertaining stage of the experiment, the students' unsatisfactory level of the research competence was determined according to the relevant indicators, namely: students did not want to fulfil the research tasks due to the lack of the information system, their abilities to plan and manage their research activities. To increase the level of the research competence at the formative stage of the experiment, the section of General Physics "Molecular Physics and Thermodynamics" was accompanied by the fulfilment of certain educational research tasks combined both the theoretical lecture material and experimental research material on each topic of the educational program which was mastered and assimilated when performing in nature-oriented and virtual laboratory works as well as in the process of solving these problems. While performing the research tasks of the complex content significantly increased the level of the students’ research competence according to all the indicators, as it was evidenced by the results of the educational research activities. The practical significance of the obtained results was determined by the fact that the system aimed at forming the research competence (on the example of the section of General Physics “Molecular Physics and Thermodynamics”) was developed and implemented in the educational process of training the future Physics teachers on the basis of the complex research activity. It is expedient that one should apply the experience gained within the platform of the formation of the future Physics teachers’ competence while mastering further sections of General Physics. Keeping to this approach, the idea of the content of Physics as a holistic system of universal knowledge, abilities, skills and place of research in the formation of research competence arises must be of great importance. Keywords: future Physics teachers, training, research competence.

The Impact

В данной статье проанализировано основное различие понятий учебно-исследовательской и научно-исследовательской деятельности. Основной проблемой является развитие мотивации к учебной научно-исследовательской деятельности учащихся. Выявлено, что на мотивационную готовность студентов к научно-исследовательской деятельности могут оказывать влияние многие факторы, рассмотрено их воздействие. В статье приведены различные студенческие мероприятия, которые могут способствовать повышению мотивации учащихся к исследовательской деятельности. Выявлены, проанализированы научно-исследовательские умения и их компоненты (операционный, содержательный, мотивационный). Реализация в профессиональной подготовке традиционных форм обучения (лекции, лабораторные, практические, семинарские занятия, коллоквиумы, курсовые и дипломные работы, консультации, индивидуальные занятия) помогает овладению учащимися научной информацией, но не всегда способствует формированию необходимых умений и навыков. Очевидно, что внедрение новых теоретических обобщений в учебный процесс (чтение преподавателями проблемных лекций, введение новых теоретических разделов по наиболее актуальным проблемам современной науки, расширение перечня учебной литературы и интернет-источников, освоение новых методик исследования, подготовка мультимедийных презентаций) повысит интерес студентов к исследовательской деятельности. Образовательный процесс будет проходить более успешно, если в вузе сформирована эффективная образовательная и научно-исследовательская среда, направленная на развитие личности студента. This article analyzes the main difference between the concepts of educational research activity and research activity. The main problem is the development of motivation for educational research activities at students. The authors revealed that many factors can influence students’ motivation readiness for research activities; considered the impact of those factors. The article presents various student activities that can help to increase students’ motivation for research activities; identifies and analyzes the research skills and their components (operational, content, motivation). The implementation of traditional forms of education in professional training (lectures, laboratory, practical, seminars, colloquiums, term papers and theses, consultations, individual classes) helps students master scientific information, but does not always contribute to the formation of the necessary skills. It is obvious that the introduction of new theoretical generalizations in the educational process (delivering of problem lectures, introduction of new theoretical units on the most relevant problems of modern science, expanding the list of educational literature and Internet sources, development of new research methods, multimedia presentations) will increase the interest of students in research activities. The educational process will be more successful if the University has an effective educational and research environment aimed at the development of the student’s personality.

The article considers issues related to the formation of scientific and research competence in students of nonlinguistic universities by means of a foreign language. Using a foreign language as a tool for obtaining information of a scientific or professional nature is particularly relevant in the current labour market. The distinctive feature of the new federal standard of higher professional education is its focus not only on the accumulation of knowledge, but also on the formation of the ability to apply knowledge in practice, on the development of certain competences. Therefore, it is necessary to switch from the content to the effectiveness of the educational process. Scientific research work is becoming an important part of a student ‘s professional training. This is one of the key factors of development and active formation of the qualities essential for a would be railway specialist. Creation of knowledge-intensive industries in the field of railway transport changes the requirements to the skills of university graduates. Skills in selecting and analyzing of information, applying it creatively, identifying problems and making management decisions are in demand. Project technology is offered as a tool for forming the research competence among students of railway specialties. The feasibility of this method as an effective way of organizing research activities of students of railway and economic specialties is justified.

The article reveals the problem of organizing research activities of students of musical universities as the main factor influencing the formation of their musical thinking. To achieve this goal, music education is transformed as a holistic process of musical research based on reflexive modeling, and musical research as a musician’s self-critical research activity. It is found that only in a systematic study by future musicians of facts, phenomena, circumstances of the musical process, it is possible to develop generalized skills to determine and achieve the goal of musical research, develop value-methodological strategy and tactics of relations in the process of interaction with the subjects of this research, self-assess the results of their research activities. In addition, development of musical thinking of personality is aimed at achieving its professional reasonableness as a universal quality, providing understanding and comprehension of the holistic process of musical research and determining mastering the value-methodological culture. In the process of the research, the following is undertaken: the methodology of the criterion-value approach is substantiated as the leading strategy of the personality-activity approach to students of music universities in the process of development of their musical thinking; the types of research activities (reasonable, organizational-informational, creatively transformative, evaluating) and their interrelation on the basis of the principles of unity of the universal and particular, simple and complex are revealed; the research self-critical activity of the future musician is revealed as a criterion of the truth of his musical thinking, aimed at mastering the professional reasonableness of the individual; analysed the role of the reflexive control of the formation of musical thinking of the individual and the holistic process of musical research. The involvement of future musicians in research self-critical activity, as well as the implementation of the reflexive control of the process of development of musical thinking, provided significant positive changes in the levels of development of this thinking. If reflexive management of the process of development of musical thinking contributed to the development of rational and creative individuality, then reflexive modeling of the holistic process of musical research made it possible to achieve self-management of the student’s personality, which led to the development of dialogical thinking, actualization of the independence of professional ideas, judgments, inferences, activation of self-criticism, priority to solving complex problems . As a result of the study, the appropriateness of the realization of the personality-activity approach to students of musical universities in the process of development of their musical thinking are derived: the increase in the effectiveness of the implementation of the personal-activity approach to students during the formation of their musical thinking depends on the degree of implementation of the reflexive management of the integral process of musical research; the achievement of the goal and result of the development of musical thinking — mastering professional reasonableness of a musician — is determined by the degree of effectiveness of the implementation of the personality-activity approach in the process of formation of the specified thinking with future musicians.
